Building resilience to climate change in Lake Victoria’s fisheries: the role of women’s fisheries organizations in Uganda.
REFNo: SS3103ES
The broad goal of this project is to understand factors that have led to successful adaptation outcomes for women involved with Womens Fisheries Organizations (WFOs), and to document WFOs’ potential to facilitate long term climate resilience in Uganda’s fisheries. Objective 1 (O1) is to establish indicators of success from the perspective of the women involved in WFOs. Objective 2 (O2) is to document actual livelihood and adaptive outcomes of being involved in WFOs (based on indicators from O1). Objective 3 (O3) is to document (a) qualitative factors relating to social dynamics, governance structure, and power relations and (b) quantitative spatial, infrastructural, ecological, and demographic measures that have contributed to WFO success.

Case Study: Exploring the Effectiveness of Village Health Teams in Uganda's 12 Refugee-Hosting District
REFNo: SS3874ES
The main objective on this research is to drive the narrative on a successful method of transition from humanitarian-funded to government ownership of health systems for refugees in low- and middle-income countries that depends on responsibility-sharing as part of the Global Compact on Refugees. The specific objective is to explore the effectiveness of Village Health Teams (VHTs) in Uganda's 12 refugee-hosting districts in preventing and treating human malaria by identifying key successes and key challenges of this health system, and then exploring how successes can be proliferated and how challenges can be mitigated.

Establishing baselines in fauna diversity, phenology and abundance in key biodiversity hotspots
across Uganda through collaborative research and capacity building
REFNo: NS889ES
Our project will sample birds and bats targeting biodiversity hotspots adjacent to and within
protected areas in Uganda. Through multiple visits across the next six years we plan to sample in
distinct biomes such as the North (Moroto, Kidepo valley, Agoro-agu, Morungole, Achwa)
Northeast (Pian Upe, Nakapiprit, Matheniko-Bokora), East (Mount Elgon, Loporokocho, Bukwo),
Northwest (Otzi forest, Ajai wildlife reserve, Luuku forest) southwest (Mgahinga, Bwindi and
around lake Victoria (Buvuma Island, Kalangala, Bugala). These regions are known to support
unique and often locally endemic species. In addition, many of these areas, such as the Kidepo and
the overall Karamoja regions, are notably understudied compared to regions in Western Uganda

Unpacking the Work of Healthcare Providers in Short-Term Medical Missions: An Institutional Ethnography Study in Uganda
REFNo: HS7011ES
The overall aim of the study is to examine how healthcare provider work is socially and institutionally organized during short-term medical and dental outreach in Kalangala District, Uganda.
The specific objectives are to:
1. Map existing evidence on how short-term medical and dental missions organize provider roles and workflows through a scoping review.
2. Explore how institutional texts (e.g., protocols, referral tools, policies) and local practices shape day-to-day decision-making among local and visiting providers. 3. Analyze how decision-making hierarchies and communication structures influence care delivery and interprofessional collaboration across local and international teams.

Bring African Bureaucracies back in: Negotiations and Implementation of Chinese Development Engagement in Uganda
REFNo: SS125ES
This project seeks to take African bureaucracies seriously, an actor that has largely neglected in the existent literature. Taking an empirically grounded approach, this project aims to study the real governance of African bureaucracies and investigating what they actually do without classifying them into pre-determined ideal-typical categories.
More specifically, using China-Uganda development engagement in road construction and agriculture sectors as a case study, this project conceives this development engagement as ‘processes of negotiation, contestation and bricolage’ through which Ugandan bureaucrats together with local, national and Chinese actors seek to articulate their preferred positions and fulfil the mandates of their organisations.

The Making of Memory: Tracing the Origins, Development, and Contestation of Post-Colonial Memory Regimes in East Africa
REFNo: SS3936ES
This research investigates the emergence and evolution of post-colonial memory regimes in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, focusing on how these states have navigated the legacy of British colonialism after independence. It explores why states with traumatic colonial histories take divergent approaches to memorialising trauma, and how these memory regimes shape national identity and international relations. By examining the institutional, cultural, and diplomatic dimensions of memory politics—particularly through national curricula, monuments, independence celebrations, and post-colonial foreign policy—the project contributes to International Relations and memory studies by deepening our understanding of how national memory evolves after traumatic historical events. In doing so, it has three primary objectives: first, to make a theoretical contribution by addressing a gap in International Relations (IR) literature on memory politics, which has the tendency to focus on European and East Asian contexts, and thereby neglects an understanding of the development of official memory in the African context; second, to provide empirical insights into how East African states navigated nation-building and the politics of remembrance in the context of ethnic diversity, colonial legacy, and broader systemic pressures; and third, to highlight the utility of moving away from a predominant focus on conflict as the object of study in international relations, which offers limited insight into cases where states undergo a traumatic period, and yet do not develop strong state led nationalist politics surrounding that trauma. The study combines archival research, elite interviews, and discourse analysis. Archival work will be conducted at Makerere University and the National Archives of Uganda, focusing on records related to post-colonial state building, commemorative practices, and UK–Ugandan relations. Interviews will be held with policymakers, civil society actors, academic experts, and individuals with expertise in the independence struggle and memory politics. Ethical considerations remain central to the project. Participation in interviews will be voluntary, with informed consent obtained in writing, or recorded verbally if necessary. Interviewees may withdraw at any time without penalty, and pseudonyms will be used unless express permission is granted. Data will be securely stored and anonymised.

Transnational Migration and Challenges for Global Justice: EU–Africa Relations
REFNo: SS217ES
In the project I will study the perspective of Eastern Africa in order to understand the emerging global governance of migration and identify limits of the nation-state defined framework for global justice, which prevails in the social sciences as well as in the UN migration agenda and European migration policy. I will examine how global political economy impacts on Sub-Saharan Africa and to what extent it constitutes factors shaping migration between African countries and trans-continentally. Under the guidance of MISR I intend to learn from the local colleagues about the Eastern African and Ugandan context in order to understand its relation to the international migration regime.
The project will connect a macro-structural perspective analysing global interactions with an analysis of international migration regime and its local effects. The innovative theoretical contribution of the project lies in developing a comprehensive framework that connects migration studies to the broader social theory of global interactions. The main objectives of the project are twofold:
1. developing a conceptual framing of migration in the context of global political economy juxtaposing the double approach of borderless for trade and border-restricted for responsibilities and social protection of migrants;
2. analysing emerging global governance of migration with a special assent on Africa–EU relations and the Ugandan context, and identifying key challenges for global justice.
